Chest pains, lump in throat feeling, blood coming up.....can also be a bleeding ulcer, and bad acid reflux.....mine is horrible when my anxiety is bad.

Yes, you need to call your doc if you still can today and tell them you are going to the ER.
Then go to ER. they can at least do the tests there instead of your doc having to send you somewhere for them.
With the obvious extreme anxiety you have I wouldn't be surprised at all that it is an ulcer.
There are also many other reasons for spitting up blood.....not all are horrific cancers.
But you do need to go. there are some things that do need immediate attention w/ spitting up blood......but they are also very treatable and not the end of the world.
So...get going.....and let us know please how you are doing.

Calm Down and like Teresa said....This is not by all means anything cancerous. I have excessive worry, and it effect my bowel......hence one day i found a titch of blood..my colon was on overload. all is well as I have not seen it again.

Yes, there are regular Ulcers, and there are bleeding Ulcers. And there are different types in both situations.
As you have been diagnosed w/ one recently I would bet that is it.....you have just aggravated it more by all your worrying. And maybe not sticking to the diets you are supposed too while recovering from one. Also you could need a different med for it, maybe the one you have isn't right for you as there are many different ones.
Smoking, acidic foods, caffiene, aspirin, ibuprofen (motrin), etc. are all not good when you are recovering from an ulcer.
If it were me, I might take a ride to the ER anyway, with just being diagnosed w/ one and now this.
How much blood is there? Are you coughing it up every time? Are you vomiting any or just coughing?

It could also be strain from coughing a lot. It could be bronchitis or peumonia also. Many, many different things...do not think the worst. You will need a chest x-ray to check everything so don't freak out over that.

Are you coughing it up a lot or a little? What color is your sputum????

I don't want to worry you any further, but some bleeding Ulcers require immediate attention. If you wait to go to the Doc, they can't do anything there, they will send you to get a test at a testing facility or to the Hospital maybe anyway.

Because you have just been diagnosed w/ it only 2 weeks ago and now you have some blood I would really go the ER.
Letting a bleeding Ulcer go longer could make it worse in a short period of time, with a much more difficult and longer recovery. It really is best to go now before it gets any bigger. Because with how much you are worrying I doubt very much you are going to remain calm. More anxiety/stress = worse symptoms.
Please go, OK? Promise?.......don't start getting my anxiety going now with worrying about YOU.......I have enough to worry myself about, ....lol....

You've been googling your fingers off I'm sure about lung, throat, and god knows what other cancers......but you've been DIAGNOSED with an Ulcer and haven't looked up or into the possible symptoms/complications? What you should and shouldn't be doing, eating, etc...?????? Shame on you......I bet you've been eating & drinking all the things you shouldn't. And maybe smoking? AND WORRYING.....and....and.....and no wonder you've possibly made it worse!!!

If I were there right now I'd smack you.....not too hard....just sting for a minute or 10........
OK....I feel a little better now that I've gotten that out.......
I still wish you well and better ; ) xoxo

ok...i found a small amount of blood (2 times). probably the size of a finger nail clipping (maybe smaller) in my sputum. The color of it is consistently whitish/yellowish. I am not coughing up that much sputum, probably a tablespoon every hour. Is that lots?? I dont know.

Yes i do smoke...*slap*...and yes i do drink coffee...*slap*.

I didnt go to ER last night...but i promised myself that if i see more blood i will go ASAP.

All my worrying is definitely making this worse. I need to chill out...ASAP.

I am just going through some hard times in my life....with money, my wife, my business, etc.

I need a vacation away from all this. But there isnt one in site for a long long time. ugh.

Anyways...thank you for the support. I appreciate it so much. I was so scared yesterday...i am still so scared today...but at least i can find comfort within this thread.

It could also be that you have a dried out nose. This happens to me frequently. If you have blood in your nose, and even the slightest of nasal drip, you will spit/cough up a bit of blood on occassion. Allergy meds do this to me frequently.

hey anxiety is known to cause ulcers. with spicy food, acidy food, etc it can cause bleeding ulcers, which i have and that can lead to your exact feeling. relax, take a breath and seek professional help to be sure everything is ok. good luck.
